Cultivation methods and precautions of Babaoshu

It is best to use sandy soil with strong drainage and rich in humus when growing the Chinese magnolia. You can put some broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot to facilitate better drainage.

The eight-treasure tree likes sufficient water. The soil should be kept moist at all times and watered in time. Do not wait until the soil becomes dry before watering. If the temperature is high, you can spray some water around to effectively increase the humidity in the air.

It is necessary to maintain sufficient light from the seedling stage, but shading measures should be taken in time in summer, otherwise the leaves will easily be burned.

During its growth period, fertilize once every 15 days. You can use high potassium nitrate fertilizer to better help the plant grow.
